We’re thrilled to announce that we are hosting a fascinating presentation by Bircham Trustee Carl Lamb about his experience of taking part in the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race in 2024.
The Sydney Hobart race is one of the most challenging offshore races in the world. Carl will share stories from the deck, insights into race tactics and behind-the-scenes moments you won’t hear anywhere else. Whether you’re a sailing enthusiast or simply love stories of human grit and adventure, this event is not to be missed.
Carl is a former RAF fighter controller based in Neatishead during the Cold War and served in the South Atlantic during the Falklands War, so has seen his share of stressful situations in the past. However, the 2024 Sydney Hobart race was a particularly demanding one in which two sailors lost their lives. His talk reflects on the drama as it unfolded and the impact it had on all those who took part.
This unmissable talk will take place on Tuesday, 14 April at 7 pm upstairs in the Board Room at the Bircham Centre.
Tickets are £20 inc wine, canapes and a raffle ticket, available from the Bircham Centre Shop, or email thebirchamcentre@gmail.com to reserve your place. Cash only please.
